March was a great month for Nissan, Japan's second-largest automaker. Just out, the numbers reveal the automaker achieved a healthy 9.7 percent increase in U.S. market share - the highest single-month growth in the company's history. Even more remarkable, Nissan U.S. vehicles sales jumped 27 percent, marking one more monthly record.
Among Nissan's award-winning lineup, the Nissan Altima performed particularly well. Comprising 32,289 units of Nissan's 121,141 unit total (a 27-percent jump over last March), the Altima took the title of the "Best-Selling Sedan in America", for the first time ever.
Commenting on the automaker's record-breaking success, Al Castignetti, Vice President of U.S. Nissan-brand sales said, "This [March] was our best month ever."1 He also added that while the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan has slowed production of some models, Nissan still had about a 50-day supply of vehicles to begin April.
